UPDATE: Gretchen Rossi has also responded to Brandi Glanville's claim that the Real Housewives of Orange County stars were crying "fake" tears, along with Tamra Barney's insinuation that it was Gretchen who was faking it.

On August 22, Gretchen tweeted:

@BrandiGlanville@BravoAndy not sure who you were referring too but my tears were not fake, I was beyond hurt by what the woman were saying.

So is Brandi right to assume that the Housewives were just pretending to bawl? Well, so far two of the ladies have come forward, saying that they were in fact genuinely in tears. Here are how Tamra Barney and Alexis Bellino responded:

So just who exactly does Tamra think Brandi is referring to? Given that most of the reunion episode involved the ladies battling it out with Gretchen Rossi, Tamra is probably suggesting that if anyone was faking their tears, it was Gretchen. So maybe Tamra doesn't think Gretchen was actually crying after watching her proposal to Slade Smiley?

Regardless, we can't wait to see the final reunion episode when it airs next week. And no, we're not faking our excitement.
